In the wake of the lies, law breaking, Rwanda, corruption, drug and sexual harassment accusations, Covid deaths averaging 280 a day, Russian money, NHS critical incidents this 'decide who is a woman' thing is having to do a lot of heavy lifting.

I agree, but you're more tactful than I am.

I hope they can decide who is a woman when canvassing. ?

What is your obsession with "knowing what a woman is"? You really have fallen down a culture war rabbit hole.

You should be right Esspee but I wouldn't put it past Labour to shoot themselves in the foot somehow.

Labour should win comfortably.

I think everyone is so sickened with the corrupt Tories that almost anyone sporting a blue rosette doesn’t have a hope in hell of getting in almost anywhere in any election.

So there's going to be a by-election in Wakefield, which Labour needs to win to show it's in with a fighting chance at the next GE.
